Why choose an electronic timing system

An electronic timing system takes the guesswork out of recording results. Rather than relying on hand-held stopwatches alone, electronic timing gives officials consistent, repeatable results across every race, with less room for human error and less strain on volunteers running the meet. Systems can be scaled to suit local club meets or larger, fully integrated championship setups.

Photocell and results timing

For finish-line accuracy, our photocell timing systems capture results the moment an athlete crosses the line, and can be linked into a wider results system for instant, official-standard timing. Alongside this, our range includes elapsed time clocks for keeping athletes, officials and spectators informed throughout the meet.

Electronic starting systems

An electronic starter offers a safe, consistent alternative to a traditional starting method, helping ensure every athlete gets an even start.

Measuring distance electronically

For field events, an electronic distance measuring (EDM) device speeds up measurement in throws and jumps and reduces the room for manual error compared with a tape alone. If you're looking for tape measures or hand gauges instead, our gauges, tapes and tools collection covers those options.

Wind gauges

Wind readings matter for sprint and jump results, and our wind gauges range from compact, stand-alone units through to models built for integration with a full timing setup.

Equipping your meet

Electronic timing works alongside the rest of your officials' kit. Our stopwatches and timing range covers manual timing as a backup or for smaller events, and you'll find the rest of what's needed to run a meet across our Officials range.
